First you have to realize who Edgar Cayce was, then you have to understand Cayce first mentioned Indigo children LONG before Tappe did.

Edgar Cayce is well known as one of America's greatest psychics, being able to tap into some sort of higher consciousness while in a meditative sleep, he is often referred to as the sleeping prophet. Think of his divination technique in the same concept of Nostradamus, just using a different technique. Cayce was able to tap into the akashic record, to get his knowledge. He was able to predict that California will slide into the ocean and that New York City will be destroyed in some sort of cataclysm event. [Cayce speaks of "The Halls of Records". He mentions three 'hall of records. One located at the right paw of the Sphinx at Giza. One 'hall of records' located at Pasadena, Bahamas. The third "hall of records" is believed to be at Piedras Negras, Guatemala.]

The labeling fad began in the late seventies when several psychics started talking about the numbers of children they saw who had purple auras. They named them "Indigos." This was followed in 1999 by the success of Lee Carroll's and Jan Tober's book, The Indigo Children. The fact is that Indigo's have nothing to do with the color of the aura.

Edgar Cayce's is an excellent place to start your research and exploration of esoteric wisdoms. He targeted the years 1998 to 2010 as the period when the Fifth Root Race, where our next evolutionary advancement as a species would be fully underway. Root race is a Vedic teaching and refers to species-wide,, evolutionary mutations of our human gene pool, not genetic subgroups. As Vedic tradition has it, there are 7 major root races in God's plan to perfect human form, on Earth. Each advancement occurs during a major CYCLICAL change in the earthplane. The associated vibratory sequence happening now is blue (as per the teachings) and so Indigo is associated with the 6th Root Race.

NOW, of course there will be many that will jump on the bandwagon and point people in different directions. These leaders will assume EVERY child with ADD is a starchild, when the fact is that ADD is the most widely mis-diagnosed disorder in children today.

Cayce goes on to mention that Indigos are Emissaries from Heaven. I'm only reminded of the children of Lourdes who saw the Virgin and were whispered secrets about the future.

Indigo children are classified into three groups, and NOT all are, or have to, necessarily have ADD, ADHD, Autism, etc. Indigo children are cataloged into three groups: psychic, crystal, or indigo. I don't need to explain what a psychic is, but the difference between crystal and indigo are quite unique. Crystal children are highly psychic and sensitive and speak of peace and love--as their universal message and purpose, they are able to tap into their past lives, can talk about other galaxies. Indigos are highly psychic and sensitive as well, however their anger and emotional patterns need constant direction, because they appear lost. Hence why so many people with Autistic, ADD, ADHD children tend to classify their child as Indigo, to be able to introduce their slightly askew child as being 'special.' Some of these parents, in my opinion are in denial, and give a bad name to those children who are CLEARLY more gifted and classify as a true Indigo as opposed to any other child.

Sanskrit Gurus beliefs teach us that chakras are the centers of energy within the body which is brought forth through meditation to enlighten the mind, body, and spirit. This ascension or transcendence into an ethereal realm is synonymous with connecting with the Absolute, as in the energy field. The Third eye also known as the Ajna is firmly associated with a telepathic sense. These Indigo Children are tapped into the planet and are increasingly growing in numbers. Their psychic abilities seem to be moving quickly away from the asymptote. The growth phase is moving at alarming rates, so it seems, and it will keep growing until it peaks. Many of these children are now young adults, some with offsprings who may or may not carry the genetic code or the instinctual skillset to replicate the powers given by their parents. I'm reminded of the how the Mendelson cycle works. The possibilities of the next generation having the dominant or recessive gene is factored by the combination of it's seeds.

Where have you been? There are some of us that have been looking at both sides. Please don't generalize all of us because you're bitter that not everyone wants to agree with your POV. It's rude and it's ignorant.

Why thank you for the response. Your opinion is noted.

The Indigo organization sure has some unusual beliefs
What is it about their unusual beleifs that separate them from any other unusual belief system?

"He was able to predict that California will slide into the ocean and that New York City will be destroyed in some sort of cataclysm event."

So? My cat was able to predict that I would speak Mandarin Chinese tonight. It hasn't happened yet either.

Perhaps you can explain "how the Mendelson cycle" works, seeing as I have never heard of such thing and googling the term comes up with exactly one hit to a page that blathers on incoherently.

Jeebus you people are gullible...

Well thats wonderful... gonna keep the secret all to yourself? Because throwing "Michael Mendelson" at google only returns a rock photographer, and a genetic counselor in Maryland. Worldcat is fond of an asian sociologist.

More info please.

Oh, and don't worry about being bullied...

Ok, 7powers, I did read all that including the article. I need time to absorb all that information though. But if "Indigo" children are anything like that article. I highly doubt most people are Indigo children then (which makes it closer to my own definition)... just a thought.

You're right, I did miss it. I thought your comment was another rude attempt to blow off other people's opinions so I did not even think your question was directed at me.

And to answer your question. I don't know. I'm trying to answer that question myself. I don't know what the point of identifying "Indigo Children" would be even if they did exist. Wouldn't it be more important that we understand our soul's purpose as an individual and follow it through? Why are there books and internet sites dedicated to this so much other than to satisfy curiosity? (besides the obsession with people thinking they're special in some way)

Justreading, I also suggest you JUSTdomoreresearch too, google Michael Mendelson, cyclical theory. Read: Art and Society in a Highland Maya Community: The Altarpiece of Santiago Atitlán, Mendelson's theory is shown there too.

Mendelson writes 'that events associated with the creation of the world are repeated again and again in times of conflict through living priest-shamans who carry out ancient rituals established by the first ancestors. When a Mayan priest-shaman performs a ritual at a propert time in a proper manner he is able to recreate the world just as it was at the first dawn of time.

Also read up on Nostradamus, who also propounded the cyclical theory of history, 'according to which human societies progress through a series of stages from barbarism to civilization and then return to barbarism. In the first stage—called the Age of the Gods—religion, the family, and other basic institutions emerge; in the succeeding Age of Heroes, the common people are kept in subjection by a dominant class of nobles; in the final stage—the Age of Men—the people rebel and win equality, but in the process society begins to disintegrate.'

M2C---now go do your own research!

I have some experience with the concept of Indigo Children.
Since my son started kindergarten, he had problems in school, mostly paying attention, grades etc. When he was in 1st grade, the school began to talk about ADD and getting him tested. I was a little put off at the idea because I heard bad things about the ADD medication and over medicating. Besides, I never had any problems in school and it was difficult for me to understand. My husband had these sort of problems and was more open to testing.
I was talking about ADD with one of my neighbors and she said my son didn't have ADD and she knew exactly what was going on. She told me he was an Indigo Child and gave me some articles to read.
While I was upset over ADD, I was floored by the info she gave me about Indigo's. To me, it seemed that my son didn't have problems, it was society, school and us the parents that were wrong because we were trying to "squash" his creativity. If we kept trying to make him "conform" to the school's requirements and even our own household rules, we were hurting him. I'm sorry, but I can't buy in that.
Anyway, my son is now in 3rd grade, has been tested for ADHD and yep he has it. The school has really been wonderful. They have a modified workload for him and more one on one learning. At home, we have cut certain foods and food additives out of his diet and everything is going well. He is not on any ADD meds.
I just don't want to see any kids denied the chance to do well in school and at home because their parents decide that they're Indigo's. I think the best course of action is to go through the medical channels first and take step by step actions, instead of labeling a kid as "special" and giving the kid a false sense of entitlement.
That's just my 2 cents.:)

Good for you.

Would you mind telling me what foods they recommend removing from their diet?

Did he have allergy testing, or is a standard ' don't eat thus and such?'

[right][snapback]15244[/snapback][/right]

No he has not been allgery tested yet. I have him drinking only 100% fruit juice, no soda, no High frutose corn syrup, no food dyes. I'm looking into organic foods and gluten free foods.
His diagnosis is fairly new, only a few months. The school is the one who paid for and did the testing and it took longer than expected. So I feel I'm only at the beginning of trying to figure out what works for him. There are also some websites that have diets for ADHD kids.
http://www.homeschoolmath.net/teaching/add-adhd-diet.php This is just one.

I'm also trying to chance his diet slowly, so it's not a complete shock to him.

7powers, I agree with you about parents being in denial and falling back to medication too quickly.
I believe though that there are people out there (like the neighbor mentioned in my post) who will try to convince parents that they shouldn't even consider ADD as an option and go straight to labeling them as Indigo Children. As this is what happened to me. And with all the bad press ADD and it's medication have gotten over the last few years, parents may take the Indigo label over ADD and not listen to medical advise or reasearch things themselves.

I'm sorry. When you wrote:

Why thank you for the response. Your opinion is noted.

I had thought that to be a sarcastic comment about what I said, so I had felt that maybe a reply from me would've been unwelcome.

Though, you also did not put my name in the question if you meant it specifically for me. I understand it's the same reply towards me, but I've seen many cases where someones make a qip (or whatever that word is) reply towards people and then they go on to ignore that person. I also thought it might've been a rhetorical question or a question pointed towards others... I was really not sure.

I understand that in part this is your personality and that's not the issue. But when people aren't more sensitive about what they are writing, sometimes it is hard to anticipate whether they might provoke something other than what they are intending if they were to reply.

I honestly think English is such a vague and unclear language. I don't see think it is completely people's fault that people are misunderstood. English changes meaning based on the tone of a person's voice, the way it is exchanged, ridiculous changes to word order and even the person. It's just one of the most retarded languages in the world... it's also hard as hell to learn.

This is why I speak a secondary language. But anyway, back on topic.

Exactly MARU---not ALL newly classified INDIGOS are indigo's, now the Boriska child is an example of a CRYSTAL child, within the classification of Indigo. As you can see from the Boriska example, true Indigo's prove themselves in extraordinarily gifted ways.

See, with that I would agree. The child in the article is more closer to my definition of Indigo Children than the lame definitions out there on the web. I do not think that someone can list criteria to label someone in such a way. You have to do a fair amount of soul searching and also there have to be some extremely profound experiences that say "Oh, this person is different than the rest of the pack."

But of course that doesn't always point out to call it a true phenomena. There is still no proof. But truly something remarkable would've had to have been going on with the child's mind, irregardless of whether the statements are true or not... I still think other paranormal phenomenas could be a culprit. Like some people do not believe that psychic ablility exists in an all-knowing way, but they believe that people leave behind residual energy... it is possible that a child can suddenly tap into that energy in such a way that nobody else ever has before. If you believe that, then it is possible that that is where the information came from.

The article itself as well can be an exaggeartion. I picked up more than a couple of places where it seemed like it was written by a 12 year old. Presentation plays a role and I think speaks for itself.

Some Examples:

Then, soon after he turned 2, we took him to the children day care center. Teachers were all stunned by his talents and his unusual way of thinking. The boy possesses exceptional memory and an unbelievable ability to grasp new information.

Most interestingly, Boriska thinks that nowadays the time has finally come for the “special ones” to be born on earth. Planet’s rebirth is approaching.

-Sickness comes from people's inability to live properly and be happy… You must wait for you cosmic half.

But to force the idea on people. You're right. I can only imagine how a child feels to be alienated in such a way with a label like that... not only are they told the exact opposite of what the world tells them, but they learn to distance themselves from people and to ignore what other people are trying to teach them... thus making them more ignorant to the facts or life and possibly stunting their social abilities. I have seen too many cases of where kids become so alienated that they suddenly start playing out these fantasy lives. Like if you believe you're special in that way, why stop there? Suddenly they'll believe that they're the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe. Or that they're the vampires. Or that they're something else.

My personal feeling is that I think people need to step out of the way with labeling people and designating people psychics, prophets, or whatnot. Let people represent and figure out themselves. Let them find their own path. Give them a chance to tell the truth if you think it's that real. If you force on them, they're going to feel alienated and they'd be living a double life.

I think the main reason people do that is because too many people looking are 1) looking for role models, 2) looking for people to worship, 3) looking for some great phenomena that they can place all their faith in so that they can finally feel they found God or whatnot.

From God's perspective, it must be so ridiculous. Obviously I believe God exists, but the idea alarms me that people think they can look in His eyes and interpret what He doing in this world by coming up with all these interpretations for energy and types of people. They are just labels, nothing more... you can't describe the divine in all it's mystery with a label. If God is so large and hard for us to understand, I think that people can comprehend that maybe just maybe labeling isn't going to make it any easier to understand. We have done this all throughout history and have only been proven wrong, all you can do is have faith and go with what you know in your heart and start there.

Ok, end monologue lmao. Sorry this was long and might be hard to understand. I figure I'd write what I was thinking on the topic.

Hey look, a decent parent! You don't see those very often anymore. They're getting to be like fresh water.

Actually, there are many cases where the diets of people are changed and their behavior changes dramatically. I do not think there is any coincidence that there is such an abundance of health problems today, such as cancer and so on, and then the amount of processed food and cr*p put into our diets. I think there is a very strong correlation between the both.

Obviously we should be looking at more things before we jump into explaining everything with the paranormal. I have health problems, and well... I was actually told once that I have such serious health problems because someone is very angry with me and therefore that is why it is manifesting (because I am responsible for the anger). That person was a jerk and was only trying to make me feel bad and worthless.

[Indigo Child]

I looked at:
http://www.dnaperfection.com/indigochildren.html.
It was in response to another post. I found myself answering yes to some of the questions. For example I come off as older than I am because of maturity. Also, I like leading and helping people and animals. I am shy and somewhat anti-social and can't stand those who won't get their act together. Am I an indigo?
[right][snapback]13182[/snapback][/right]

It could be that your past lives are also coming into play. I think you might be feeling wise for you age because you might have lived past lives. Did you ever concider that? It could be you are an Indigo, or your past lives could just be leading you through this life.

[...amy...]

I'd like to respond from a mother's perspective
For many years, I've been come at from all sides... in regard to my son and myself.
"crystal"
"indigo"
Ack (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
"adult indigo"

Don't kid yourself, we are labeled, "each of us" on a daily basis....
MOTHER / FATHER / GRANDPARENT - should perform, act, and be as society says...
INDIGO; CRYSTAL;ADD;ADHD;OCD;MPD; - all holding these attributes.

Obviously the list can go on......... and on.............. and on.................

I 'personally' don't like labeling in any form. Let's face it, none of us all wear the same size shirt, we each are different in our own right, AS IT SHOULD BE! That is what makes this planet unique - too bad we can't embrace our differences.

Since my son, now 12 was about 2 he's spoken of seeing... hearing... has honestly downright FLIPPED OUT! after some of the things he's been presented with. I can't say I wish upon any child or parent some of the scenes that have happened within our home. I'm not talking about "hauntings"... but how his 'sight' has affected him and the family as a whole. Being an intuitive myself, I was blessed with a little perspective... but what about the parents who are completely clueless to all of this?? What about the people who are experiencing it, and have no outlet, sounding board, reference?
Let's just use this scenerio...
My son, feeling alone, different, and as he too often had said to me, "a freak" needed a place to feel a unity. People of like minded views, and experiences to know that he wasn't "abnormal". I think people forget about the need to be accepted. So let's say... I went into a parents group... any ordinary parents group asking these other parents, or my son, children his age... "I'm looking for children who are having similar experiences as my son. He speaks to the Angels, has horrific beings that have taunted him, dead people visiting... do you think any of your children have had these experiences? He needs a friend who understands". I'd have been kicked straight out of that group, and in the area I'm in been called a 'devil worshiper', making an already difficult situation worse. (Matter of fact, when he tried to open up to his Auntie about these things, she bluntly told him, "it's the work of the devil"). Society IS coming around, it is more accepted, and hopefully there are parents who don't use it as a tool for making their lives more interesting and obtaining some self-attention (lil munchausen's with a different spin?) or place their child on a pedestal. In part this knowledge and change in societal thinking is BECAUSE of the awareness that those labels brought.

But back to my point. When he expressed the need and desire to find children who were like minded, THAT LABEL is how I was able to get in contact with parents, speak with them, and after a time, find children who we indeed experiencing what he has/had been. The ability to share with him, what other children were experiencing... and even to chat with a few of them (SUPERVISED) was priceless for him, his self esteem, and worth. Most people today hold their pockets open, and using these Labels......... well it works. Everyone needs to create an income to sustain their lifestyle... and not all who claim to work with, know of, write books, etc. do it with the pretense to fill their pocket. There are those who do have integrity, and want to help.

Again, I don't like labeling...
But with each label, searching a little deeper than the surface can provide GREAT tools for self discovery, and progress.
Adhd?? What's this child's life like at home? His diet? Allergies to food? It's not always just a cut and dry behavior problem. Children are products of their environment as a whole are they not?

I guess the idea is... just don't get sucked into the "one size fits all"... watch out for those who have no balance - are consumed with being indigo, or having an indigo child - .
We are all unique, yet the similarities when seen with OPEN EYES and some reality - can prove to be the proverbial bridge.

Indigo Children? It seems interesting enough, however, my knowledge of the entire thing is limited...aside from what i have read on this particular thread. It seems possible, but I am one who believes that all things are possible. After scanning through the webpage, linked at the start of this thread, I must admit that is has some form of "cult-ish" quality about it. Much like the tone of Andrew Cohen's Enlightenment webpage. Like I said, my knowledge of the subject is highly limited...so I could not make a definite judgement call one way or the other...but the idea is, as mentioned, interesting enough.

This concludes Sy's pointless post,
